...and the 3-d arrow at the far right(greyed out from its normal yellow)which is from Browse Images (1.5 ready)a way-complicated extension for browsing image galleriesthat automatically caches a list of image-linksfor every page you visitso the arrow-button willvery convenientlystep you thru that list

(Browse Images has the ugliest toolbar ever imaginedso i just dragged off the one arrow i need)

next we have two bookmarks toolbarscrammed with unlabelled small iconsthat comprise most of the sites i visit regularly thatdon'thave rss feeds(Sage handles the rest)

the second toolbar is via theMulti Bookmarks Toolbars extension (buggy, no 1.5)and if you need it i recommend the older versionbut when you need to edit bookmarks in the 2nd bardo it in the Bookmarks Managernot via the popup menus

i customised the icons with Favicon Picker (no 1.5)so i can find them without having tosubvocalise the site name

Sean Paul of the Agonist has written a short think piece on Iraq policy that I think is much too... kind.

The only 'democracy' we'll accept for Iraq is one where we hold all the cards-- we'll call it democracy when they fight us with ballots not bullets, but no matter which they choose, we'll use whatever weapons we have to, to make sure that things come out our way-- not excluding election fraud and assassination.

And we'll stay as long as there's oil that needs protecting-- don't think 2000 dead, think 200,000, over the next 50 years. Don't think $500B, think $500T, because the value of the oil will increase and increase, so we're not going to let anyone take it... no matter who we have to nuke.
